The Dawn News: Qadri sees no change without purging present setup

LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri said on Tuesday that
present setup could not be changed without checking the way of ineligible persons
to come in power repeatedly.

“We cannot see change in the society without ending the present setup,” he said
this while addressing a press conference here at the PAT’s secretariat in Model
Town.

The PAT chief said that present electoral system was a main hurdle in the way
of change in the country. He said that nation should not become silent spectator
and do something on election being held in collusion.

“A big mistake is being committed without purging the electoral system which
would help promote the culture of bad blood and terrorism in the country,” he predicted.

It is tantamount to promote terrorism, if an opportunity is provided to corrupt
politicians to come in power, said Qadri.

He vowed that PAT would continue its efforts to obtain the objectives of corruption
free electoral system in the country.
